Multiple reports over the weekend suggested that some iTunes accounts hijacked and unauthorized credit card transaction made. Today Apple said in a statement that a developer violated the program’s license agreement and as a result removed from the program. In addition, Apple suggested that if users find unauthorized transactions on their account, to contact their financial institution and also change their iTunes account password. The statement can be found below:
“The developer Thuat Nguyen and his apps were removed from the App Store for violating the developer Program License Agreement, including fraudulent purchase patterns. Developers do not receive any iTunes confidential customer data when an app is downloaded. If your credit card or iTunes password is stolen and used on iTunes we recommend that you contact your financial institution and inquire about canceling the card and issuing a chargeback for any unauthorized transactions. We also recommend that you change your iTunes account password immediately. For more information on best practices for password security visit http://www.apple.com/support/itunes”.
